If the likes of you want Brexit it's going to be 100% it's not a good idea.

We're going to be away at election time so we've applied, but we've not received our ballot papers yet. Have you had your poll cards? They say if you have postal vote and when it should be delivered by which is the 6th Dec here. Yes we had our poll cards a while ago. We then applied for a postal vote. If the ballot paper is delivered by 6 Dec, we'll be fine. I'd check that your application has been succesful, recorded and when they expect them to be actually delivered rather than wait until the deadline. Remember if you have fallen off the postal vote list it'll take a day or three to get to you. Arrival around two weeks before the date of a poll is normal for our council. -- Cheers Dave. |

My council sends out a letter telling me that I have a postal vote and when to expect the ballot paper to drop through my letter box. They also state that if the ballot paper is not received by a certain date to contact them. From memory, this date was at least a week before the polling date - presumably to allow time for a second ballot paper to be sent out. My ballot paper arrived at the beginning of this week (week ending 30/11/19). -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

I'd hardly call it compulsory when you can agree to pay a fine rather than vote. |

"Brian Gaff (Sofa 2)" wrote in message ... I'm beginning to think unless you are in a marginal you can vote for who you like really. I'd be surprised if Giles Brandreths daughter would get in here with Ed Davey in the seeat and nobody knows much about the others. almost nobody votes for personalities they vote for the party Obviously with someone as high profile as Davey there is scope for him to have acquired a personal vote but within the remaining electorate people just vote for their selected coloured rosette. tim |

We're going to be away at election time so we've applied, but we've not received our ballot papers yet. I'm not sure when they will be sent. I was surprised that the application didn't ask when we were going away and therefore when we needed to have received them. It's a shame that there isn't (as far as I know) the idea of a postal proxy vote: but there is: one of the complaints with the current postal voting system that that there is an unlimited number of postal votes that can be harvested by a single person tim |

All modern first world countrys and most second world country arent even self replacing now if you take out immigration. The TOTAL of India and China, by far the two most populous countrys now isnt self replacing either now. The right thing to do is cull several billion, Bull****. but that is deemed extreme. Corse its extreme. You are however free to cull yourself. Natural calamities will just have to do, They never do anymore. Even full world wars dont. or a new top level predator might be cool. Humans predate fare more humans than anything else does. |

Only because no one wants to decide who would be culled Logic dictates that western civilisation needs to go. The rest will collapse quite rapidly thereafter. or if you just let people die, who should be allowed to have children. While we're talking about who should be allowed children, why do we spend so much money on IVF and such? Natural calamities will just have to do, or a new top level predator might be cool. Natures working on it. Won't be some thing with pointy teeth that leaps out and eats you but something we can't see, like a bacteria or virus (or group of). Yeah, I know the bacteria/virus thing is most likely. The pointy teeth things would be more entertaining though. |
